Open carry for Miss Jeppers?

Some gun
advocates are openly calling for administrators and teachers in our public
schools to be armed, allegedly as a defense against a future massacre like the
one at Sandy Hook that killed 20 first graders.

This idea
is damnably obscene.

I don't
want to hear that the best we can do for our six-year-old children is to say:

"Kids,
we love you so much, we want to keep you safe in school with your teacher, so
what we're going to do is give Miss Jeppers a 9mm Glock semi-automatic pistol and
an easy-draw holster, so if a bad man breaks into your classroom with big rifles,
Miss Jeppers can slap leather, drop to one knee and pump two or three slugs into
his chest so he won't hurt you."
